It aims also to foster the awareness and discussion on the topics of Harmony and Proportion with a focus on different utopian visions and readings relevant to the arts, sciences and humanities and their importance and benefits for the community at large. New essays on the works and themes of Hesse, one of the most perennially relevant and widely-read German authors.
He led a long and sometimes eventful life with marital tensions, traveL controversy, crises, even some thoughts of suicide and a period of time as a student in a home for retarded and unmanageable. In addition, there was his search which led him through the culture and arts of West and East, his views of politics and society, of psychology and philosophy. The difference between Hesse and other writers is that virtually every shred and patch of his life was brought into his writing, his fiction particularly.
Mileck's contribution is to extend and fill out the evidence of his life, his psychoanalysis, his drive toward self-realization which was the very engine of his being, to show the raw material and thus to invite readers to see how it was transmuted, transfigured, fantasized, poeticized, symbolized.
No one is better qualified to disentangle this abundance than Mileck, compiler of the huge two-volume Hesse bibliography. For completeness, then, no biography in English compares. This very readable book also contains a number of exceptional photographs, which, together with Mileck's fervor and understanding of the author, help create a living image of Hesse the man and the artist.
This is a literary biography which concentrates on the works and looks at the life of its subject briefly and always in relation to its involvement with the works. In the disastrous years before and during the Second World War, when confidence in a harmonious future was as difficult as it was crucial for spiritual survival, two German artists in exile wrote what would become their late masterpieces.
Both works address the topic of universal harmony in the fabric of creation and culture, as well as the urgent problem of how such harmony can heal the spiritual, mental, and emotional developments of individuals and of society at large.
The two quests are mirrored into circumstances that are almost equidistant from the midth-century period in which their stories are being told. Hindemith's opera centers on an outstanding intellectual in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, while Hesse's work focuses on this intellectual's counterpart projected into a fictional world of the early 23rd century.
In both cases, the quest for harmony and truthful proportion manifests at all levels of the stories told and of the works telling them. Jahresangaben fehlen, doch ist anzunehmen, dass Josef Knecht etwa im Gleich darauf schickte ihn der Orden in das Benediktinerkloster Mariafels, das um die Entsendung eines Glasperlenspiellehrers gebeten hatte.
Jahrelang hielt sich Josef Knecht unter den Benediktinern auf. Josef Knecht war noch keine 40 Jahre alt, als Glasperlenspielmeister von der Trave starb und man ihn zum Nachfolger ernannte. Josef Knecht war mit dem hervorragenden Glasperlenspieler Fritz Tegularius befreundet, einem launischen Ordensmann und genialen Narren. Um sein Anliegen zu veranschaulichen, verglich er seine Situation mit der eines Gelehrten, der in der Dachstube eines Hauses riecht, dass in einem Stockwerk darunter Feuer ausgebrochen ist.
Der Frieden im Land, so Knecht weiter, werde vom Osten her bedroht. Seine Geliebte Erika besuchte ihn nur selten. Der Titel lautete: "Tractat vom Steppenwolf. Im Hesses Werk wird es an folgendem Zitat veranschaulicht: "Harry besteht nicht aus zwei Wesen, sondern aus hundert, aus tausenden.
